Last month I worked on my friend’s computer because they were having pop-ups, spam and all kinds of major problems. When we finally got to the bottom of what was causing the problem…it turned out that he had been confronted with a pop-up that looked very official, but had dire consequences when he clicked on it. The ad was so realistic that it had Windows icons, matching font and appeared to be completely official. Even worse the pop-up resemebled the Windows Security warnings that my friend was used to seeing, so he thought the pop-up had to be from his computer!
This may sound fishy to you as a Technical person, but this happens to our parents, friends, brothers, co-workers almost every day! They see something out of the ordinary, but it is convincing enough that they click on it. These ads, pop-ups, spam or whatever you want to call them are just convincing enough that personal information is entered including credit card numbers, email addresses and home addresses. But lets be real here…most of these incidents are occurring at home right?
What about your business? Are you instructing your co-workers to deal with these problems? What about simple spam emails that your co-worker clicks on and then a Trojan or a Worm is present on your network? This will then cause your IP to be Blacklisted and this causes your company to lose money!
Make sure that your entire network and company is safe by using our Perimeter Defense Email system that will protect spam and viruses from ever reaching your network. Our Perimeter Defense is guaranteed to protect your network from being compromised by spammers, viruses, worms, spoofing, DHA and DoS attacks:
